Description

Gillin's - Kauai, Hawaii Gillin's features predominantly right-hand reef breaks over flat rocks, providing fun waves suitable for various skill levels. The spot can handle swells up to 2.4 meters (8 ft) and works well at all tides. Access is straightforward, with a short walk from the parking area to the beach. This uncrowded surf spot is ideal for those seeking a peaceful getaway. During the week, surfers can expect minimal crowds, often just 2-4 people in the water. While the right-hand waves dominate, occasional lefts can pack some power, albeit shorter in length. Caution is advised due to shallow rocks and coral in the inside section. The area also offers a sandy beach break nearby, perfect for bodyboarding or family fun. Overall, Gillin's is a hidden gem for surfers looking to escape the busier south shore breaks.
